10. Insomnia
Nolan's first big film. It lacks some of the most recognizable aspects in Nolan's big bag of tricks but it's still a masterful and suspenseful psychological thriller and detective noir

8. Batman Begins
Nolan's first entry on the character of Batman is more than just a comic book adaptation, it's an immaculate depiction of ideals and themes using the caped crusader's world as a setting. It went on to become the template for superhero origin stories.

7. The Dark Knight Rises
An epic conclusion to Nolan's Batman saga. Inspired by Frank Miller's masterful comic, "The Dark Knight Returns", this film puts an emphasis on Bruce Wayne and explores his psyche while still being an action-packed blockbuster.

6. Dunkirk
Nolan is known for subverting the conventions of familiar genres in order to challenge our ideas about movies and he executes this perfectly in Dunkirk. Nolan plucks you in a war and uses time to give the audience a unique war film experience.

Rivalry, obsession, science vs magic and class warfare. Nolan pulls out every trick( no pun intended) in his pocket to adapt the fantastic book by Christopher Priest
